Emergency Dentist Brampton

What would be considered a dental emergency? Below are several instances you should see your emergency dentist immediately.

1. Bleeding and Swelling: You may think a little blood on your floss is normal, but it could be a sign of something more serious. Any blood or swelling should not be ignored as they could both be signs of infection or disease.
2. Broken tooth: An emergency, but seriousness of situation depends on how much of the tooth is broken and how much pain is being experienced.
3. Abscessed gums: You can identify an abscess as a white, clear, red or yellow pimple-like sore in the mouth.
4. Sores in mouth: These types of sores can range from simple canker sores to foot, hand, and mouth disease. They are more serious then they often look.
5. Sensitive teeth: If your teeth react severely to changes in food temperature.
6. Infections: These are signs something isn’t right in your body. It is important to get checked out.
7. Pain, including toothaches: Pain can be caused by cracked teeth, cavities or grinding your teeth.

8. Knocked out permanent/adult tooth: Often happens by getting a sudden blow to the face or mouth. Put it back in the tooth socket if the tooth is clean, if that is not possible put it in a container of cold milk and bring it to your dentist within an hour. The sooner you get it to us, the better chance you have to save it.
